**DuckDbTools** enable an Agent to run SQL and analyze data using DuckDb.

## Prerequisites

The following example requires DuckDB library. To install DuckDB, run the following command:

```shell
pip install duckdb
```

For more installation options, please refer to [DuckDB documentation](https://duckdb.org/docs/installation).

## Example

The following agent will analyze the movies file using SQL and return the result.

```python cookbook/tools/duckdb_tools.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.duckdb import DuckDbTools

agent = Agent(
    tools=[DuckDbTools()],
    system_message="Use this file for Movies data: https://agno-public.s3.amazonaws.com/demo_data/IMDB-Movie-Data.csv",
)

agent.print_response("What is the average rating of movies?", markdown=True, stream=False)
```
